Inhibitory effects of Aquatic exercise (AE) on Ovalbumin (OVA)-induced airway inflammation. (A) Body weight gain of experimental groups. (B) Total cell counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Total cell counts were performed using a hemocytometer. (C) Differential cell counts in BALF were assessed by Diff-Quick staining. (D) Representative images of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of lung tissue. The scale bar represents 100 μm. The bar graphs depict the inflammation score (see section “Lung Histology and Immunofluorescence”). (E) Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) to methacholine challenge. (F) The levels of OVA-specific IgE in serum. Data are represented as the means ± SEM. †p < 0.05, compared to control. ‡p < 0.05, compared to OVA. § p < 0.05, compared to OVA + Walking.
